To the time of Domino dancing they were one of the biggest selling acts and the song was and is catchy enough to be a hit. At the moment they are far away from that status but that doesn't necessarily mean that their songs are bad. You never know what 2 good looking girls can to with a PSB tune - I think some people might be slightly more interested in them than in the Pets today lol
Firing verbal shots like a tommy gun

Well, I'm inclined to withdraw my negative comments about her singing earlier. I now find it rather charming. The accent is HEAVY though.

I agree with some of the people so far - Great production but AWFUL vocals. Her voice plateaus into a unsatisfying and repeative climax at the end of every line.

But I like Erasure so mabye I'll get this? ;p

Thanks, Pertan, for the info. I knew that the earlier guesses were too good to be true. :wink:

I think its quite good but then again I love this cheesy sort of music.
Makes me wonder with such a great back catalogue why there hasn't been more PSB cover versions.
I can only think of a few (some like east17 I'd rather forget)

Dizzy said cute Yes but very Clever, West End girls should do well and they could very well be the next Alcaza seen the video and love it play it a few times :wink: .
Might be a fun idea if the Boys did a duet or something along those lines.
They make a little go along way.. very Minimal but Fundamental.

oh dear oh dear.

Terrible vocals.

Sung to the tune of Dom Dan of course!


Interesting that without Neil's ironic style of vocalisation, the lyrics lose all their passion. Do you think she has any idea whats she is singing about?!

The video is amusing, with a nod a plenty to the Boys. Funnily enough, its the sort of eurotrashy pop that could do quite well in places like Germany and so on.

Im sure the Boys are very proud. Not.
And you say you never believed in luck

Somehow, I think this says it more succinctly ___

Let's ( Got the brains ) /
make ( Got the looks ) /
Let's make lots of money ( Oohh money ) /
